While the extra weightof this blade (700gms) takes a bit more work to move, the momentum of the heavy blade smooths out the jerks from slicing through the individual stems of tougher plants, making the mowing experience more comfortable.
The blade it is generally well refined, with the hallmark strong Falci tang (in fact, even stronger than usual) and a lot of tensioning marks that produce a good, strong three dimensional shape.
Use with care – this blade is stronger then your snath! Make sure the hafting angle is properly set and the clamp is tight before you start to mow and check it frequently as you work. (Phil Batten)
